    Chapter 510 Destroy the City

    Along the way from Qinquan to Sucheng, there are many places suitable for blocking. When the Matsushita unit retreated, they used the terrain here to block the attacks. However, Matsushita Kiyichi only focused on escaping, leaving behind no obstacles.  The troop strength was too small and did not pose a threat to the pursuing troops.  (Baidu search,)

    Everywhere he went, Tang Qiuli left behind a regiment of troops and explained the tasks to each regiment commander in detail. He did not require him to defend his position and adopted various effective tactics, with the main purpose of delaying the pursuit of the Japanese army.  Buy time for the troops to deploy in Sucheng. After killing the Japanese troops, they immediately move to the direction of Huangyadong without waiting to rendezvous with the main force.

    You must be careful to avoid contact with the Japanese army on the way back to Huangyadong. I will give you a regiment and hope that you can bring it back intact. Tang Qiuli reiterated the order again and again. He knew very well that his subordinates, who did not see the Japanese  The people were jealous and eager to fight. They were stuck by the Japanese army and could not retreat. No one could save them.

    The blocking troops were left behind all the way. When they arrived at the east gate of Su City, the sky was brightening. Behind them, fierce gunshots were faintly heard. The blocking troops and the pursuing Japanese troops exchanged fire. Su City, in the thin light of dawn, looked even more  Desolate and depressing, perhaps witnessing the three thousand innocent souls, there seems to be a sense of sadness and sadness floating in the sky above the city.

    The troops quickly entered the city. At this time, Tang Qiuli only had two regiments of troops in his hands. Everyone did not understand the division commander's actions. A large number of Japanese troops were chasing after them crazily. It was just when troops were needed, but the division commander kept  Spread out the troops. The strength of two regiments in such a large city of Su cannot be defended.

    Everyone was confused and couldn't guess what the division commander was going to do. Ma Chaoyang couldn't bear it anymore. He only had one regiment left in his hands, not even a few mortars, leaving it to other regiments responsible for blocking.  Machine guns have become the heavy firepower. If we pass through the city and continue to retreat, then it is not a big problem. Judging from the posture of the division commander, do we want to stick to Sucheng?  Isn¡¯t this a desperate fight?

    He was muttering in his heart and ordered him to go over for a meeting. The big empty room didn't even have a place to sit. There were many people in the room, including officers from two regiments and above. They were all gathered here. Tang Qiuli stood with his hands behind his back, his back to  Looking at everyone, his eyes crossed the dawn sky and stared into the distance. The cold wind blew in from the unobstructed window and blew his messy hair, feeling lonely and vicissitudes of life.

    Ma Chaoyang and the main officers of the division looked at each other. They could not guess the inner thoughts of the division commander. Dozens of soldiers who had experienced countless wars just looked at the back of their division commander, hoping to read their own thoughts from the back.  Something needed.

    Tang Qiuli turned around slowly, his eyes as dim as an ancient well, "Brigadier Ma, Brigadier Jiang, order the troops to lay mines and a large number of bombs on the main streets of Su City. They must also lay mines everywhere else."  **, sent two companies with walkie-talkies to detonate the bomb after hearing the order, and the troops immediately seized the commanding heights outside the west gate. "

    Seeing that everyone was somewhat confused, he explained slowly: "Because we retreated quickly and the blocking troops along the way, we have already put a certain distance away from the pursuing Japanese army. It is impossible to outflank the Japanese army from both sides. The Japanese army can only  Being able to pursue in a straight line is a gift for them.¡±

    Only then did everyone understand that the division commander had no intention of holding on to Su City. Shan Hu couldn't help but ask, "What should I do with Su City?" Tang Qiuli said quietly: "Let Su City and the pursuing Japanese troops turn into  The ruins, Su City, can only remain in my memory. It makes me sad. In the future, we will build a new Su City on the ruins. Let¡¯s prepare separately." After saying that, he sighed, seeming to relieve his inner pain.  Gloomy.

    The speed with which the ** Division troops evacuated greatly exceeded the expectations of the Japanese division commander. After the shelling, the follow-up attack regiment did not injure anyone and occupied the so-called ** Division position. All they saw was that it had been turned over by artillery shells.  Frozen soil, craters everywhere, not even a shadow of a Chinese soldier to be seen.

    The situation was quickly reported, and everyone from Yamaguchi to the Japanese division commander panicked. They finally caught Tang Qiuli's tail and let him slip away like this?  The orders from top to bottom were the same. Tang Qiuli must not be allowed to escape at any cost. Tang Qiuli's full retreat was like a huge magnet, attracting all the Japanese troops who entered the Taihang Mountains to Su.  City direction,

    It was like a string of melon eggs on a melon vine. At the front was a regiment of the Japanese army, behind it was the main force of the division, and behind it were the Japanese army from the two divisions. The Japanese army from other directions also gathered around.  , set up a long snake formation, smoke and dust billowing, and the target pointed at Su City, which was the only direction for Tang Qiuli's troops to escape.

    The pursuit did not go smoothly. Along the way, I encountered countless blockades. I was unable to temper myself. Although my muscles and bones were not injured, the feeling of being suddenly punched was even more uncomfortable. The soldiers who had their hands and feet broken were dripping with blood.  body, pullAfter getting ready to fight, the opponent suddenly disappeared and rushed to the position with shouts. He didn't even see the shadow of the ** division troops.

    After several rounds of tossing, the Japanese army's pursuit speed obviously slowed down, and Yamaguchi became anxious. Isn't this an obvious blocking battle to delay the pursuers? It was to cover Tang Qiuli's main force in getting rid of the pursuit. These pig heads told them  Many times, the army divisions in the Taihang Mountains did not have many troops, and they were still hesitant and timid.

    Yamaguchi issued a death order to the pursuing troops, not to get entangled with the small troops of the Japanese Army along the way. If Tang Qiuli escapes, you commanders on the front line, prepare to go to military court, or commit suicide by caesarean section to apologize. Tang Qiuli's  The snake entanglement tactic immediately lost its effect.

    The Japanese army did not dare to run forward without hesitation. When encountering resistance, they immediately detached small groups of troops to fight back. The main force did not even pause. They were really advancing on the corpses of their companions.

    When we chased them to the outside of the west gate of Su City, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon. The leading Japanese regiment hit the iron plate and was punched and beaten to the ground by troops from one regiment each of Ma Chaoyang's brigade and Jiang Yanming's brigade.  There were thousands of corpses, and they retreated continuously. A Japanese regiment followed them and caught up. The two regiments joined together, but still did not attack. The battle was stalemate on the high ground outside the west gate of Sucheng.

    After hearing the news, Yamaguchi and the Japanese division commander were extremely pleasantly surprised. With the blessing of the Emperor, they finally did not let the China Devil escape. They immediately attacked and launched an uninterrupted attack. When they reached a unit, they immediately launched an attack and killed Tang Qiuli in Sucheng.  It became the only wish of Japanese officers at all levels and they were willing to pay any price for it.

    In the winter in the mountainous area, the sun sets very early. It's just past six o'clock, and the sunset has already lost its last touch of bright red. The Japanese army is gathering more and more. After repelling another Japanese attack, Tang Qiuli looked at the hazy twilight and issued an order.  Order to retreat.

    The troops passed through the city and just arrived at the east gate. The Japanese pursuit troops had already entered through the west gate. When the leading Japanese troops arrived at the east gate, the main force of the Japanese army was swarming into the city.

    Standing on a hill outside the east gate, Tang Qiuli watched a group of Japanese troops appear in his field of vision, "Let's start!" He ordered lightly, and a series of earth-shattering explosions were heard, and Su City was enveloped in smoke and fire.  Among them, with its former peace and tranquility, and with its murdered souls, it was reduced to ruins.

    The soaring fire made the sky red, and the thick gunpowder smoke could not be blown away even by the cold wind. No one knew how many landmines and bombs had been laid. Even Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanming, who commanded the troops, did not know the specific number.  , I only know that a lot, all the family assets are buried under the ground of Su City. It is estimated that Su City can be turned upside down and wiped off the map.

    Tang Qiuli stared at Su City in the fire for a long time, as if he wanted to imprint this small mountain town shrouded in flames in his mind. In the blazing fire, he vaguely heard the small town's painful groans, "Let's go," he said softly,  He withdrew his gaze, turned around and left, clearly feeling that the whole place was filled with fire, burning his aching heart.

    It is impossible to know the number of casualties of the Japanese army. Regarding the Sucheng explosion, the Japanese army was very tight-lipped. They only knew that the regiments of the Japanese division responsible for the staged attack did not have a single contact with the Japanese army on their way back to Huangyadong. Tang Qiuli  They also had a peaceful journey and arrived at the Huangyadong base safely two days later.

    He didn't know that the battles between Qinquan and Sucheng that took place around Huangyadong worried about the hearts of everyone staying in Huangyadong. The only top commander staying here was the Logistics Director of the ** Division and the Joint Chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command.  The commander of the service headquarters, Army Major General Zhang Quan, was alone. The other generals led troops outside, dispersed all parties, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese.

    He was not a military cadre and knew nothing about fighting. When the Huangyadong garrison brigade was transferred out, he also felt that the situation was not good. The troops were frustrated in Qinquan and the Japanese army gathered heavily. When the news came, he was so anxious that he quickly found him.  Wu Hongtao, commander of the **Division Training Headquarters, discussed countermeasures.

    If the division commander cannot withdraw, he can only arm the existing recruits in Huangyadong and rush to Qinquan for reinforcements. Speaking of which, there are a total of 123,000 recruits receiving training at the training headquarters.  With the remaining people, and later the more than 28,000 Jingxing coal miners, the number of recruits that could be used reached more than 150,000. This was their final decision.

    But what about combat effectiveness?  Nearly two-thirds of the recruits have just learned to aim and shoot. Can such a unit be able to fight a war?  He had no confidence in his heart, and Wu Hongtao had no confidence in his heart, so he could only prepare for the worst.

    Later, he received an emergency telegram from the division commander. Mei Ting was seriously injured and was on her way to Huangya Cave. She ordered the base to prepare for rescue. The old man was dumbfounded at the time. How could this happen?  Even if you follow the teacher, you will be seriously injured. What about the teacher?  Is he okay?  Zhang Quan's heart skipped a beat.

    Prepare everything as quickly as possible, there is nothing missing in Huangya Cave.There were the best doctors and medical equipment in the Taihang Mountain base area. Then, he stood at the entrance, waiting impatiently for Shan Hu and the others, smoking pot after bag after bag, asking the warning posts again and again, and saw  Shanhu and the others don¡¯t have one?  Are there car lights?
